The Program in Film and Media Studies seeks to make a tenure-track faculty
appointment at the rank of assistant professor in Film Studies with a
research specialization in Chinese-language film. This position will begin
in fall 2012. Teaching load is two courses per semester. The appointment
will be in FMS but teaching duties will also involve courses crosslisted

able to situate Chinese-language cinema (whether from the PRC, Taiwan, or
Hong Kong) within a global context. Ability to address other Asian
cinemas and media (Japan, Korea, and/or South Asia) would be welcome.
Applicants should have a broad and deep knowledge of film. In addition to
teaching courses focused on Chinese-language film, the faculty member will
be expected to teach courses that may include: history of world cinema,
film theory, transnational issues in film, major directors, film genres,
or film/digital production. We encourage applications from candidates
with an interest in the intersection between film production/practice and
theory.
A PhD in film studies or a closely related field completed by the start of
the position is required. Outstanding potential for scholarly publication
and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels is expected.
Additional duties include: student advising, participation in faculty
governance including program committees, college and university service.
